Hey everyone, this is self made Millennial. I'm Madeline Mann and in this video you'll learn how to answer the question why should we hire you in a job interview? I have a simple and persuasive three step structure for this answer as well as stay to the end to hear a sample answer of all these three steps in action. This channel was named a top 10 YouTube channel for job seekers and it's not for nothing. So make sure you subscribe to this channel to dramatically improve job search game and hit the bell to get a new video every Thursday. A typical way to answer this question is to start listing off all the great attributes about yourself. You say, you know, I'm a hard working person. I was promoted twice in three years. I always meet my quotas. I'm collaborative. Da da da da da. Now this is how all of your competition is going to be answering this question. And you know you're not watching this video because you want to be the middle of the pack. No, you are front of the pack or starting your own entirely new pack. Kind of doggo. So this three step method has given my clients exceptional confidence and results and they managed to answer this question without feeling salesy and cocky. So team Humble, let's get ready to rumble. So here are the three steps to answer. Why should we hire you? First, reiterate what you know about the role, especially the biggest challenges this role has to address. You're recognizing that the company isn't going to hire you because. Because you are a great person or you really deserve this role. Nuh. They are hiring you if you can address the specific business needs. So show that you are business focused. Second, talk about the skills and results you've had that will specifically address those challenges. Third, flip that bad boy right back at the interviewer. Ask them a question like is this how you see me in this role? Would you add anything? This is important to keep the interview feeling like it's two way conversation and then get them telling you either why you are spot on and correct and you're a great fit. Or addressing other areas where you may be misaligned about the role so that you can engage them immediately on those. Do you feel your interviews are generally a two way conversation or a one way? Leave a comment about your experience as well as any questions or advice you have about how to make it more of a two way conversation. Okay, so here is an example of these three steps in action. I found that there are at least 12 highly active accounts that this account coordinator role will help support and through my research, it appears that many of these clients require increased PR resources during award season. With award season about six months away, I could come on now and build systems and rapport with each client, which is something I did from the ground up during my time at the agency. Then when the requests start to ramp up in the role of Accounts Coordinator, I will act as a boss buffer for the team to allow the team members to focus while I address the client's questions and issues. The more I can keep the clients at bay, the better work the team can do. So I specialize in keeping clients happy and up to date. I do that now at B Agency. I keep all of the details organized and have served over a hundred different clients, many of whom especially request me to work with them. I'd love to bring this expertise to the Accounts Coordinator role. Is that how you see me in this role? Did I miss any key challenges that you see for this job? Yeah, I know this kind of sounds like a lot of things to say, but heck, you know, this shows that you've really been paying attention, that you want to address their specific needs and you are business freaking focused. Similarly, the question Tell me about yourself has a formula to answer it that makes your response concise and impresses the interviewer right off the bat. And so I will link a video that walks through that formula and I'll also link a digital download, a free worksheet that you can use to craft your own killer response to Tell me about Yourself. I will link those in the description like this video and subscribe to this channel. Thanks so much everyone. Wi Fi High five.
